Venues of the 1952 Winter Olympics

[2] Jordal Amfi, an outdoor artificial ice rink,[3] was built with a capacity for 10,000 spectators.

[7] Although upgraded several times since its opening in 1892, the former wooden superstructure was replaced with a concrete tower and in-run ahead of the Olympics, with the out-run being extended to 87 meters (285 ft).

[10] A switchboard was posted at the start and finish lines to help spectators monitor the progress of the competitors during the races.

[12] Considerable construction and upgrades were made to the area to make it suitable for Olympic competition.

A bridge was built across the lake of Krøderen to help with transportation concerns; a new hotel, two ski lifts, and a new road were also constructed.

[14] The organizers decided to build a temporary course, Korketrekkeren, out of snow,[15] which ran down the hill from Frognerseteren, near Holmenkollen.

[23][24] Lillestrøm, Dælenenga and Kadettangen are only used for lower-level football, as they lack any significant spectator stands.

[25][26][27] Jordal Amfi received a roof in 1972 and hosted the World Ice Hockey Championships in 1958 and 1999.
